You probably heard about it but recent...Hey Jeff... You probably heard about it but recently a VP over at netflix had enough nerve to post a story about how they use and contribute to open source. Joe Brockmeier had written a story about it on networkworld http://www.networkworld.com/community/netflix-touts-open-source-ignores-linux and the original netflix blogpost is here http://techblog.netflix.com/2010/12/why-we-use-and-contribute-to-open.html<br /><br />I've been trying to spool up some attention to the whole thing by posting it on various social networks and I plan to make a blog post.. Although I'm not as quick about kicking out quality blog posts as you are.<br /><br />So anyways here's your chance to let Netflix have it.. Whether you comment on their blog or make your own entry or both... lol<br />Cheers!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790501370874813594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-50438352052153282502010-08-24T06:44:27.033-05:002010-08-24T06:44:27.033-05:00hey,the best way is to use firefox and mediaplayer...hey,the best way is to use firefox and mediaplayerconnectivity extension, so you can play your video with vlc media player, and you know that vlc play wmedia well ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-37547962227912990982010-08-16T10:01:02.761-05:002010-08-16T10:01:02.761-05:00Netflix will come to android... with google tv

Thanks for the follow up blog on ...Jeff, right on.. Thanks for the follow up blog on CWTV. I have since went to their site and left some positive feedback (this time) to award them for doing the right thing. Using GNU/Linux gets better everyday, and it's thanks to people like yourself and people that speak up for GNU/Linux that it does.<br /><br />As for Netflix, I have been boycotting their entire service for years now for the simple reason of their non-Linux compatible streaming content. In a world that benefits so much from Open Standards, non-compliant or monopoly-supporting companies should be punished. But recently, I read that Netflix will be coming to Android Linux, which I think is a step towards it being available on full-fledged GNU/Linux as well. So this will be good.<br /><br />In the meantime, I will be training my consumer sights onto the new target, Netflix. And as a community - GNU/Linuxers everywhere will bring Netflix to the table as well, because it is the right thing to do to support it.<br /><br />Get your GNU/Linux on!
